in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nearby

Bay (4 miles), surfing beach of Polzeath
(6 miles), the family beach of Daymer Bay
(7 miles) and the sailing and water sports resort of Rock

well as those hoping to enjoy a relaxing seaside break. The

delightful walks and cycle rides with excellent bird watching opportunities. Surfing
lessons and coastal kayaking trips can be arranged nearby and a number of local
riding stables offer trekking on Bodmin Moor. As well as stunning
